Nachdem ich beide Ori Spiele gespielt habe und noch ein paar Stunden in Deadcells geflossen sind, habe ich versucht kurz Hollow Knight zu spielen. Keine Chance, die Steuerung ist nicht mehr in meinem Musclememory.
Just finished playing Horizon Zero Dawn! 🎮 It’s a blast—definitely worth the time. Yes, there's a lot of hunting and gathering, but the story really hooks you with some cool plot twists. And those graphics? Absolutely stunning, making every exploration feel epic. If you haven’t played it yet, add it to your list! 🌄

This exploratory narrative and open world simulation of the life of American philosopher Henry David Thoreau gives players an immersive experience of Thoreau's experiment in self-reliant living at Walden Pond. The game begins in the summer of 1845 when Thoreau moved to the Pond and built his cabin there.
Players follow in his footsteps, surviving in the woods by finding food and fuel and maintaining their shelter and clothing. At the same time, players are surrounded by the beauty of the woods and the pond, which hold a promise of a sublime life beyond these basic needs. The game follows the loose narrative of Thoreau’s first year in the woods, with each season holding its own challenges for survival and possibilities for inspiration. 1/2
Bin immer kurz davor mir #TheRougePrinceOfPersia zu holen auch wenn es noch Early Access ist. Die Gameplays machen irgendwie Spaß.
Aber dann ist mir einfallen, dass ich ja noch #MarkOfTheNinja nicht durch habe. Also war das mein Zeitvertreib dieses Wochenende.
